The corona virus Covid-19 is spreading in Germany. In order to avoid contagion, the federal government has set up various regulations, such as the ban on meetings such as the Sprachtreff or the closing of bars, shops and schools.

The Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration has published important information on the corona virus on her website in a total of twelve languages so that people whose mother tongue is not German can also understand the background of the corona virus and the government’s instructions: https://www.integrationsbeauftragte.de/ib-de/amt-und-person/informationen-zum-coronavirus.

These are continuously updated. Here you will find fact sheets, answers to the most important questions and the speeches given by the Chancellor in various languages.

Each and every one of us can help to prevent the virus from spreading too quickly, for example, by not shaking hands and hugging, or by washing our hands more often. The Federal Center for Health Education has summarized the most important rules on its website in six languages. The overview can be downloaded from https://www.infektionsschutz.de/mediathek/infografiken.html#c9302.

The Johanniter have also provided basic information on the corona virus in 13 different languages for free download: https://www.johanniter.de/die-johanniter/johanniter-unfall-hilfe/aktuelles/nachrichten/2020/basisinfos-zu-corona-in- different languages/.
